Now that the EGT championship scrapped the idea to use production EVs only in their road-map, hope that the eTrophy becomes a multi-branded championship. We could see the new Hyundai Kona EV, new Nissan Leaf and even the Tesla Model 3 battling for podiums on FE circuits…

ZERO, NADA and NO chance you’ll see Model 3s racing. Of the 7 of my friends who own the, only 2 have had no issues with the car since delivery. Add in the power and batteries are TERRIBLE and there’s no chance anyone would want them on track. Same thing with the Leaf, there’s a reason they picked the 100Ds and then still wanted more. sorry, but we don’t want to watch boring slow racing and FE tracks are already terrible, beyond terrible as they make the worst F1 track look amazing and smooth.
